Habituation as an adaptive shift in response strategy mediated by neuropeptides
Habituation is more than learning to ignore The long held notion that habituation is simply learning to ignore a repeated stimulus has been challenged by this work showing that habituation reflects a shift in response strategy to escape a repeated aversive stimulus.

Habituation is more than learning to ignore The long held notion that habituation is simply learning to ignore a repeated stimulus has been challenged by this work showing that habituation reflects a shift in response strategy to escape a repeated aversive stimulus.

Using computer vision software for detailed behavioral analyses, they found that for C. elegans, habituation is part of a behavioral strategy to disperse to safety away from the site of stimulation.
